13-15 February 2018, Refugee Camps Boynuyoğun, Öncüpınar

With Italian journalist Mariano Giustino, Turkey correspondent for Radio Radicale, we visited two refugee camps near the Syrian border. Boynuyoğun in the Hatay province and Öncüpınar in the Kilis province. Both are relatively old camps, built in 2011 and 2012. Most of the Syrians there are also already since the foundation of the camps there. At Boynuyoğun, 90% are from Idlib and surrounding villages, at Öncüpınar most are from either Idlib or Aleppo.

Angelina Jolie also visited the Öncüpinar camp
